vmscan: count the number of times zone_reclaim() scans and fails

2009-07-02T23:50:57Z

commit 24cf72518c79cdcda486ed26074ff8151291cf65 upstream. On NUMA machines, the administrator can configure zone_reclaim_mode that is a more targetted form of direct reclaim. On machines with large NUMA distances for example, a zone_reclaim_mode defaults to 1 meaning that clean unmapped pages will be reclaimed if the zone watermarks are not being met. There is a heuristic that determines if the scan is worthwhile but it is possible that the heuristic will fail and the CPU gets tied up scanning uselessly. Detecting the situation requires some guesswork and experimentation so this patch adds a counter "zreclaim_failed" to /proc/vmstat. If during high CPU utilisation this counter is increasing rapidly, then the resolution to the problem may be to set /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode to 0.

usb-serial: replace shutdown with disconnect, release

2009-07-02T23:50:25Z

commit f9c99bb8b3a1ec81af68d484a551307326c2e933 upstream This patch splits up the shutdown method of usb_serial_driver into a disconnect and a release method. The problem is that the usb-serial core was calling shutdown during disconnect handling, but drivers didn't expect it to be called until after all the open file references had been closed. The result was an oops when the close method tried to use memory that had been deallocated by shutdown. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

IB/mlx4: Add strong ordering to local inval and fast reg work requests

2009-07-02T23:50:05Z

commit 2ac6bf4ddc87c3b6b609f8fa82f6ebbffeac12f4 upstream. The ConnectX Programmer's Reference Manual states that the "SO" bit must be set when posting Fast Register and Local Invalidate send work requests. When this bit is set, the work request will be executed only after all previous work requests on the send queue have been executed. (If the bit is not set, Fast Register and Local Invalidate WQEs may begin execution too early, which violates the defined semantics for these operations) This fixes the issue with NFS/RDMA reported in Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

serial: refactor ASYNC_ flags

2009-07-02T23:49:45Z

commit 70beaed22cbe12979e55d99b370e147e2e168562 upstream. Define ASYNCB_* flags which are bit numbers of the ASYNC_* flags. This is useful for {test,set,clear}_bit. Also convert each ASYNC_% to be (1 << ASYNCB_%) and define masks with the macros, not constants. Tested with: #include "PATH_TO_KERNEL/include/linux/serial.h" static struct { unsigned int new, old; } as[] = { { ASYNC_HUP_NOTIFY, 0x0001 }, { ASYNC_FOURPORT, 0x0002 }, ... { ASYNC_BOOT_ONLYMCA, 0x00400000 }, { ASYNC_INTERNAL_FLAGS, 0xFFC00000 } }; ... for (a = 0; a < ARRAY_SIZE(as); a++) if (as[a].old != as[a].new) printf("%.8x != %.8x\n", as[a].old, as[a].new); Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[ Upstream commit 14ebaf81e13ce66bff275380b246796fd16cbfa1 ] If socket destuction gets delayed to a timer, we try to lock_sock() from that timer which won't work. Use bh_lock_sock() in that case. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Tested-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

KVM: protect concurrent make_all_cpus_request

firmware_map: fix hang with x86/32bit

The bug is caused by | the following code in drivers/firmware/memmap.c, the resource_size_t is 32bit | variable in 32bit OS, the BUG_ON() will be invoked to result in the Int 6 | error. I try the latest 32bit Ubuntu and Fedora distributions, all hit this | bug. |====== |static int firmware_map_add_entry(resource_size_t start, resource_size_t end, | const char *type, | struct firmware_map_entry *entry) and it only happen with CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is not set. it turns out we need to pass u64 instead of resource_size_t for that.
